We're sharing an in-depth article about Two Pore Guys so you can learn more about one of the various genomics/bio-science startups located on the Westside of Santa Cruz. What are the five things Lloyd Tab wishes he'd known before he became CEO of Looker? Find out. The Armada Group reveals the five most important programming languages you need to know if you want to position yourself as a top talent in today's market.
